Novak Djokovic joins Roger Federer, Andy Murray & Jimmy Connors as only players with 100 wins on 3 different surfaces
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic beat Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in straight sets on Wednesday to reach the last four at Wimbledon for the 10th time in his career. With the victory, Djokovic improved his overall win-loss record on the ATP tour to 966-194.
The win was also the Serb's 100th on grass, a surface he has come to dominate in the second half of his career. Djokovic has lost just 18 grasscourt matches in total, which gives him a remarkable 84.74% success rate on the surface.
Novak Djokovic's latest feat has put him in an exclusive club; he joins Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Jimmy Connors as the only players in the Open Era to have accumulated at least 100 wins on each surface (hard, clay and grass).
It is also pertinent to note that Novak Djokovic's tally of 100 grasscourt wins is the 12th highest on the surface, behind Roger Federer, Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Andy Murray, Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe, Tom Okker, Lleyton Hewitt, Ken Rosewall and John Newcombe.
Novak Djokovic has also won a whopping 613 matches (against 114 losses) on hardcourt. That makes him the second most successful player on the surface, behind Roger Federer (783).
On clay, Djokovic has registered 243 match wins while suffering 59 losses. The World No. 1 recently won his second Roland Garros title, making him the first man in the Open Era to lift each Major trophy at least twice.
Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors are the only players to win at least 180 matches on 3 different surfaces
20-time Major winner Roger Federer has enjoyed plenty of success on every single surface that tennis has to offer. In addition to his tally of 783 wins on hardcourt, the Swiss has won 226 matches on clay and 192 matches on grass (while also accumulating 50 match wins on carpet).
Eight-time Major winner Jimmy Connors, meanwhile, accumulated at least 100 match wins on not three, but four different surfaces - hardcourt, clay, grass and carpet.
The American holds the official record for most match wins at 1,274, and has the distinction of being the only player besides Federer to have notched up at least 180 match wins on three different surfaces. Connors won 208 matches on clay, 185 matches on grass and 490 matches on hardcourt.
